75th National Cherry Festival – This Weekend

Last years fireworks display.

Council wishes to advise that a fireworks display is scheduled to take place to celebrate the 2025 National Cherry Festival, at Anderson Park, on Friday 5 December 2025. 

The fireworks will mark the official opening of the 75th National Cherry Festival weekend which runs from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 December 2025. 

The fireworks display will commence at 9:00pm sharp on Friday 5 December 2025 and will conclude after ten minutes. 

Residents in the direct neighbourhood of Anderson Park have been notified of the up-coming display via letterbox drop. Council encourages all nearby residents to ensure the safety of their pets and other animals. 

Some ideas to keep pets safe include: 
• Keep your pets indoors or ensure that their yard is secure
• Give your pets a safe place to hide
• Turn up the TV or Radio
• Ensure their ID tag and Microchip are up to date
